| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Marcus Aurelius facing left, rendered in a barbarous style characteristic of Germanic imitative coinage. The effigy displays a stylized laureate wreath and draped shoulders, with the portrait exhibiting the crude, abstracted workmanship typical of non-Roman tribal die-cutters. A partially legible Latin legend, rendered in debased lettering, encircles the bust in the field. |

| Reverse description | A female figure, likely personifying Laetitia or a similar Roman allegorical type, stands facing and holds a patera in her extended right hand and a cornucopiae in her left, positioned atop an altar. The composition is enclosed by a partially legible Latin legend executed in the crude, barbarous style consistent with Germanic imitative production. The overall workmanship reflects a provincial or tribal interpretation of standard Roman aureus reverse types. |
